- Summary
- Climate change presents a significant – and unprecedented – challenge for Aotearoa New Zealand. Rising temperatures are causing sea levels to rise and increasing the incidence and severity of extreme weather events, such as flooding, landslips and wildfire. These changes pose threats to the safety and well-being of communities around the country, as well as to infrastructure and sites of cultural significance. Aotearoa New Zealand must begin adapting to these risks.
